    Thank you, Salon, for putting this on the record

    In which religion did George W. Bush claim he was born again? I heard Condi Rice on the radio this morning, denying all charges of torture by the U.S. In the face of this kind of evidence, how can this administration keep speaking out of both sides of its mouth? It's beginning to look like the rest of the world will have to rise up against us to make their point. I'm afraid for all of us. The world may not want to wait another three years. Thanks, George, Dick, Condi, and all you good guys who are looking after our best interests. What will you say or do when the backlash reaches our shores? You can't even clean up after a couple of hurricanes. I am sick to my stomach.
